BURGLARS ABROAD.

BURGLARS ABROAD.
Again the Nimble Fingered Nocturnal
Gentry Ply their yocation-J. p. Re-
daelIi Despoilsd $500 Worth.
Thus morning at five O'Clock, as is hia
usual habit, j.. p. Redaeli,, q Third
street jeweier, came to his place of busi-
ness. He found first that q pane of glass
had been broken from a window in the
front door of his store.
Second, he Gsoertained that
the look on the door had been tempered
with. Then he went to his safe which
contains the most valuable articles in
his store. The safe had been opened.
Examining the interior be. ascertsired
that q considerable portion of its con.
tents had been removed. Then Mr..
Rsdselli went for an officer and City
Marshal Brennan was the first result OF
his search.
1t was yet early enough in the morn
ing to catch the outgoing trains snd
both depots were visited by Marshal
Brennan and Mr.. Redaelli. No sus.
picious characters were found, bat tie
train men were posted.
After this Mr.. Redaelll returned to his
store. The evidence of a burglsriouE
visit were there only in the broken
window, the open safe and the missing
goods. The cafe was uniniured
There was no mark OF
violence upon it. The combination
look seemed to be q little hard to turn,
but that the safe bad been regularly nn-
locked was evident. Mr.. Redselli says
he is certain he locked it last night after
putting his goods away. The opening
through the broken glass of the front
door wei a small one end q large man, OF
even . mar of ordinary size, could moi
have gone through it. A small man, by
close squeezing could have gone through
Nix. Redaelll is OF the opinion that aftel
the glass was broken the burglar reached
through and with o false key unlocked
the door from the inside. George
Wagner, q lock smith who examined
the lock, does not think this occurred
Consequently the theory Of q small
burglar prevails. Whoever did the worl
must have had the combination of thu
safe or must been an exceedingly skillfu
brakeman.
MI. Redaelli is unable to fix his los
definitely but says it 10 fully $500
There were three trays and
drawer taken from the safe. The drawe
contained fourteen or fifteen watche
belonging to customers and five watche
belonging to Mr.. Redaelli, none OF whicl
were Of tho best quality. The tray
contained over a hundred solid gol
rings, some with settings and aeme with
ont, among them three rings with smal
diamond settings. There were in th
trays besides eighteen of twenty role
gold chains, numerous charms and othe
articles OF lesser value. Mr.. Redaelii
unable to give a full list Of customer
who lost watches, but the following ap
pear upon his books:
Joseph Rankin, silver watch; So,
Davis, gilt watch; Frank Lanack, silve
watch; Mr. e Gain, silver watch; Geore
Wagner. gold watch; James Devin.
silver watch; Mr.. MoFadden, silvt
watch and gold chain; D. J. Stafford
silver watch; Mi. McManns, silvs
watch; F. Newbank, silver watch.
There has been uncovered NO trace
the bIrItlarions party and the effair
yet a profound mystery.
